Environmentalist Indicted

(San Diego, California) Here's a reminder that the United States faces homegrown purveyors of violence in addition to foreign nutjob terrorists.

From LATimes.com:

Rodney Coronado, 39, of Tucson, a convicted arsonist and leader in the radical Earth Liberation Front, was indicted Wednesday for allegedly giving a speech urging people to commit arson and telling them how to build an incendiary device.

Coronado's speech on Aug. 1, 2003, came one day after a condominium complex under construction in San Diego was destroyed in a fire and an Earth Liberation Front banner was left at the site.

For teaching how to make a destructive incendiary device with the intent that it be used to cause damage, Coronado faces a possible 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
